It's been just over ten years since the first modern-day country legalized gay marriage, and since then only nine more across the globe have allowed lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) couples to wed nationally.

Several other countries afford some rights or protections in the form of civil unions or registered partnerships, including Denmark, the UK, and Brazil.
